Lu Sanchuan walked outside the city gate, looked up at the four-zhang high city wall, and felt a little ridiculous: What are you doing in Shiyan?

He was laughing at himself when he suddenly felt something hit his shoe, and when he looked down, it was a silver ingot.

He picked up the ingot of silver, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but wonder a little: Where did this come from? After a little thought, he understood that when Xu was fighting with the four men in the forest, he was too hasty, and kicked the silver and slipped into the leg of his trousers. When he fought and fled, he was so focused that he didn't notice anything unusual, but now he slackened and his feet stopped, and the silver fell from his trouser legs.

"Perhaps it is providential. Anyway, I used the money to buy a sword, and then I bought a fast horse and hurried to Jingzhou. ”

He took the silver in his bosom and strode into the city.

Lu Sanchuan entered a tavern, bought a jar of good champion red with the ingot silver, and after taking the broken silver found by the shopkeeper, he picked out a grain and stuffed it into the small second-hand, and asked, "May I ask, how can there be a blacksmith shop around here?"

Xiao Er saw that there was money to collect, so he was naturally happy, and hurriedly took it and put it in his sleeve, giving him detailed directions, "Turn right out of this door, go straight ahead, and turn right at the second intersection, and there will be a blacksmith shop." The blacksmith Lao Li is a well-known drunkard, who buys wine when he has money and beats his wife when he is drunk, and has a bad reputation. ”

Lu Sanchuan's eyebrows tightened, and he said in his heart: This wine is really not a good thing. But thinking of Luan Wei, who also likes to drink, he gradually stretched his eyebrows, smiled at himself, thanked Xiao Er, and went out.

According to what Xiao Er said, he really found a blacksmith shop, but the blacksmith was not striking iron, but just sitting on the old man's chair at the door, holding a gourd in his hand, raising it above his head and pouring wine into his mouth.

Lu Sanchuan said in his heart: This blacksmith is really addicted to alcohol, and he doesn't raise a hammer to do it, but sits at the door and drinks. But after all, there are requests for others, and it is difficult to show any dissatisfaction or contempt.

He walked to Blacksmith Li's side, saluted Blacksmith Li respectfully, and said, "I'm tired, I want to buy one..."

Before he finished speaking, Blacksmith Li smelled the aroma of wine, immediately turned around, stared at the wine jar in his hand with his eyes, and his voice trembled a little, "This wine... Is it for me?"

Lu Sanchuan smiled slightly, even if he presented the wine jar.

Blacksmith Li didn't say anything, he held the gourd in his left hand and put it on the ground, grabbed the wine jar with his right hand, tore off the seal of the altar three or two times, and couldn't wait to open his mouth and let the mellow wine flow into his mouth. He drank so quickly that much of the wine spilled out of his mouth and trickled down his chin.

Blacksmith Li hurriedly pressed the wine jar to his lap, touched and touched his chin and neck with his right hand, and then licked his right hand clean with his tongue.

Lu Sanchuan couldn't see it, and he didn't know what to say. How can this person be more stupid than Brother Luan?

After Blacksmith Li drank heavily, most of the wine in the jar was gone. Then he wiped his mouth, held the wine jar in his arms, and smiled stupidly, while stroking the smooth altar as if he were caressing his own child.

Lu Sanchuan clenched his fists with both hands, and then reinvented his intentions, "I'm tired, I want to buy a sword." ”

Blacksmith Li came back to his senses and glanced at him, his face was full of satisfaction, "Oh, the sword, it's easy to say, it's inside, you can just pick it up." ”

Lu Sanchuan didn't want to enter the house alone, for fear that Blacksmith Li would suspect that he had stolen some treasures, so he said, "Master Lao, can you guide me the way?"

Blacksmith Li drank enough wine, his mood was naturally happy, he nodded and stood up, and only took a step, but he kicked over the gourd at his feet, and poured out a lot of wine in the gourd.

Blacksmith Li just slowly and leisurely lifted the gourd up.

Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, isn't this blacksmith addicted to alcohol, how can he see the wine in the gourd poured out, but his face did not change?

Blacksmith Li looked strange at him, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "This gourd is not filled with wine, but water. I run this blacksmith shop, and all the money I earn is to buy wine and drink, but my addiction to alcohol is really big, I have to drink a lot, and the money earned by the blacksmith shop in a month is not enough for me to drink a day, so I have to pay on credit, and after a long time, the nearby tavern refuses to give me any more credit, I have no wine, so I have to fill some water with a gourd, assuming that I have wine, and I have a dry addiction. Speaking of this, he patted the wine jar in his arms and said with a smile, "Little brother, you are really strong enough to be a champion!

Lu Sanchuan smiled slightly, didn't answer, just made a "please" gesture, and the two entered the shop together.

All kinds of hoes and instruments are neatly hung on the wall, and there are many swords.

Blacksmith Li was very bold, spread his hands, and said, "Just pick one!"

Lu Sanchuan thanked Blacksmith Li, his eyes swept over the wall one by one, but finally landed on a dusty sword resting in the corner of the wall. "Blacksmith Li, why is that sword there?"

Blacksmith Li scratched his scalp and recalled the past, but he couldn't remember it, so he had to shake his head and say, "I don't remember it very well, I just remember that I picked up this sword." ”

Lu Sanchuan had a strange feeling in his heart, and he always felt that this sword originally belonged to a certain sword master, but it was only when that master encountered misfortune that this sword would be left outside.

He went away, grabbed the sword, and blew into the scabbard, which immediately kicked up a cloud of dust.

Blacksmith Li hurriedly handed over a rag.

Lu Sanchuan took the rag and wiped the scabbard carefully. Although the sword had been covered in dust for a long time, after wiping the dust away, it was as good as new.

He grasped the hilt of the sword and drew it three inches, only to see that the blade was unusually smooth and bright, and there was no trace of rust.

He couldn't help but be slightly surprised, and he drew the sword in its entirety, but he was even more surprised.

The sound of the sword unsheathed was crisp and pleasant.

The sword body is shining with silver, so dazzling!

Lu Sanchuan pulled a hair from his head, slowly approached the blade of the sword, and before he touched it, the hair broke.

He was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Blacksmith Li, "Master Blacksmith, do you have any scrap iron that you have discarded, let me try how good this sword is!"

Blacksmith Li accepted him a jar of fine wine, and naturally he responded to his request, so he took a piece of iron from the corner, put it on the iron pier used for ironmaking, and said to Lu Sanchuan: "Oh, you can try it." He also had some expectations in his heart, what kind of treasure would be this scrap sword.

Lu Sanchuan slowly walked to the front of the iron pier, and secretly raised his sword with internal force. He did not dare to exert himself very hard, so he restrained himself, and slashed with his sword, but he could not hear any sound, and the iron immediately split in two.

Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but be overjoyed: this is a real weapon for blowing hair and cutting iron like clay!

Blacksmith Li was also so happy that he poured a sip of wine, and Gollum poured another sip of wine.

Lu Sanchuan put the sword into the sheath, took out a few grains of broken silver, and presented it to Blacksmith Li, "Master Blacksmith, I want this sword! ”

Blacksmith Li waved his hand with a smile, lifted the wine jar in his hand, and said, "Your wine can be regarded as a reward for me." Although the old blacksmith's shop is not prosperous and is frequented from time to time, you are the only one who notices the sword in the corner, which means that the sword is related to you. Take it, take it, take it. ”

When Lu Sanchuan heard his words, he no longer shirked, put the broken silver in his arms, deeply exchanged with Blacksmith Li, and left, "Thank you Blacksmith Master! Xiaosheng still has something to do, so he left, and we will meet later." ”

Blacksmith Li smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line, shook his hand at him, and said, "Go, go, go!" Then he went to the door and sat down, and drank his wine.

With a sword, you have a weapon for self-defense, and you need a fast horse to send Lu Sanchuan to Jingzhou.

Lu Sanchuan didn't know where Shiyan Horse Market was, so he returned to the tavern, and was about to ask Xiao Er, when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, "Xiao Er, come to four jars of wine, a few dishes of side dishes, grandpa is in a good mood today, this is a tip for you!"

Xiao Er saw a silver ingot flying towards him, he was so happy that he was happy, he hurriedly caught it with both hands, said "Okay" three times in a row, turned around and walked to the back kitchen.

After a while, Lu Sanchuan immediately remembered that this voice had been heard in the forest east of Shiyan! He knew that if he was discovered by those four people, he would definitely be captured and skinned alive, so he walked forward silently, found an inconspicuous corner and sat down, lowered his head, and quickly looked at the tavern, and saw the tall, slightly fat, haired, and thin four people sitting at the door of the tavern.

The four of them each put their swords on the table, their mouths opened and closed, as if they were discussing something, and the distance was a little farther, and Lu Sanchuan couldn't really hear it.

Lu Sanchuan didn't dare to peep for too long, so he hurriedly turned around, thinking that sitting in front of the empty table would inevitably arouse suspicion, so he beckoned Xiao Er and said in a low voice: "Tired, a pot of good wine and two plates of peanuts." ”

Xiao Er shouted "Okay" and left.

After a while, the conversation between the four people gradually became louder, and they listened to the man with the hair, "What kind of Central Plains martial arts intimidate the world, I have been in the Central Plains for more than ten days, and I haven't met a master! That kid has some ability in the morning, but it's a pity that his ability to escape is better!"

The other two, except for the tall figures, laughed.

Although Lu Sanchuan was angry in his heart, his skills were not as good as others, so he didn't dare to speak out.

But I heard the people next to the four people: "Things gather by like, people are divided by groups, your martial arts are low, and the people you meet are naturally people with low martial arts, why bother to get involved in the entire Central Plains martial arts?"

Lu Sanchuan couldn't help but secretly exhale, and tilted his head slightly, to see which warrior retorted. I saw that there were also four people on the seat, one dressed in white, and there were four long swords on the table, which was obviously a person from the rivers and lakes.

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man, holding chopsticks in his hand, unhurriedly picking up a peanut and sending it to his mouth.

The man with the hair was immediately displeased, and stood up, pointing at the man and shouting: "Where did the wild dog come from, fart here!"

The middle-aged man was not angry, but just laughed and said, "Since you can understand my fart, it means that you are also a wild dog." Since they are both wild dogs, why bite each other?"

Lu Sanchuan felt that it was so funny, and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from laughing.
